My Favourite Boss..
Thursday, January 21, 2010
Yeah! Very happy today! Super happy! *double grinz*
Dawn & Ivan treated Photo2 & Photo4 teams to Carousel at Royal Plaza on Scotts today.. my boss is Ivan.. he's my favourite boss! :)
Here's the link for the restaurant if u are interested to bring your parents/partners to.. http://dining.royalplaza.com.sg/
Wendy & Me.. A very nice colleague.. she told me once that she like this company because the people are nice & not much office politics.. To me, she's one of those nice pple! *hugz*
My favourite boss! *twigz* I'm smiling so happily because I'm taking photo w the nicest boss on earth! Maybe not the nicest on earth (that's abit exaggerating) but to me he's the nicest. He told me alot of things which I rem very clearly coz they are all v wise & true words.. or rather words that touches my heart.
Once he told me that work is just to earn a living, what really matters is not work but our lives outside work. Therefore, we must have work life balance & don't take work so seriously.. so from then on, I take things easier.
Then another instance which he touched me was when he said that he'll be my listening ear even if he can't solve my problems.. be it work related or outside work. I can always find him to talk. Sweet rite? Maybe the way I phrase it is not as good as him but at that instance when he talked to me, I really felt very touched & glad to have him as my boss.
Occasionally he'll call me to his cubicle & chit chat with me, go through issues with me, go through my work. At least, I feel that there's someone reading my work & I'm not wasting time doing them. And most of the times, it's one-to-one sessions, which I feel is better because I don't really like to present to alot of pple. I prefer discussion one-to-one, be it to my boss/meeting other departments. Feel that it's more conducive & productive than a long meeting inside a meeting room.
He also reads every email I sent him! My weekly report he'll help me rephrase in a short & sweet manner, teaches me alot of things, gives me alot of encouragements & motivations!
At a point of time when I wanted to quit, he spoke to me (dunno whether he knows I've the quitting intention).. & made me feel that I still have some prospects in this company. Guess it's the way he phrase things. Now, I'm happily working in the same company after 1 & 1/2 yr! It's a pretty long period.. & I'm willing to stay even longer. At least for now, I don't have the quitter mindset. :)
Decided to change my title from Carousel treat to dedicate this entry to my favourite boss.. I know he won't be reading this but I'm writing this like a diary in a form of happy memories I can look back on next time.
Ending off with a Sweet Photo of My Dearest Boss & Me.. *smilez*
